Worry-Free Managed PostgreSQL Hosting

Why PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL is an open source, object-relational database built with a focus on extensibility, data integrity, and speed. Its concurrency support makes it fully ACID compliant, and it supports dynamic loading and catalog-driven operations to let users customize its data types, functions, and more.

Powerful & scalable

Quickly and easily spin up a high-performance, high-capacity database cluster.

Easy to setup

Launch a database cluster with just a few clicks and then access it via our simplified UI or API. Easily migrate your database from another location with minimal downtime.

Highly scalable

Scale up at any time to support your business growth. Dynamically increase CPUs, RAM, and storage on existing PostgreSQL clusters and easily spin up read-only nodes to scale read operations.

Free daily backups

Your data is critical. That's why we ensure it's backed up automatically every day. Restore data to any point within the previous seven days.

Automated failover

In the event of a failure, Managed Databases will automatically switch data handling to a standby node to minimize downtime.

Fast, reliable performance

Managed Databases run on enterprise-class hardware for fast performance. Run your clusters on Droplets with shared vCPUs or choose Droplets with 100% dedicated vCPUs for mission-critical workloads.

End-to-end security

Databases run in your account's private network, and only whitelisted requests via the public internet can reach your database. Data is also encrypted in transit and at rest.

DigitalOcean's Managed Databases have been a game-changer. They’ve done a fantastic job of removing the complexity of setting up, tuning, and securing databases for production use.

Integrated metrics, insights, and alerting

Understand database performance, resource usage, and errors so that you can efficiently size, scale, and tune your PostgreSQL database. Managed databases include critical database-level metrics, such as connections, cache hit ratio, sequential vs indexed scans, throughput, and more.

Scrapable metrics

Scrapable metrics refer to database performance metrics and monitoring data that are accessed via scraping techniques. You can use these metrics to access, extract, and analyze real-time performance metrics directly from your PostgreSQL databases with ease and flexibility.

Predictable pricing

Always know what you’ll pay with monthly caps and flat pricing across all data centers. Spin up a cluster for just $15/month.
